Landscape architect Peter Donegan is returning to the small screen alongside London-based contractor Maylim to transform a garden for The Julian Benson Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

In a one-off episode of Irish TV programme Room to Improve, the Dublin-based designer and Maylim will create a new outdoor area as part of a complete rebuild of a three-storey Victorian house into separate dwellings for families to reside whilst their children receive treatment.

Kevin Mahony, project manager for Maylim, says 274t had to be removed and a “mammoth steel structure crafted by OMC Technologies” as the only access to the rear garden was underneath the house.

“The reality for any parent and their child in treatment away from home is something that has been very much considered in the design that will be brought to reality by the hard work of so many others and by Kevin and his magnificent team at Maylim,” says Donegan. “The hope is that we allow them to smile at Tranquility House and Garden, if only but momentarily.”

The designer has just returned from a series of guest lectures in Istanbul and, most recently, the Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show, where his garden scooped the People‘s Choice Award, silver medal and The Australian Institute of Horticulture‘s Green Space International Award.

The double episode, hosted by architect Dermot Bannon, will air this December.
